The post ELGians across the world unite for fitness and good health first appeared on ELGi.]]> ELGi’s campaign #WhatsYourFinishLine kicked off, last week of August in the form of an exciting fitness challenge. Participants were motivated to shed their inhibitions around exercise, take up one fitness activity every week, beat their earlier scores and tag their friends and family to join in.

Open to all ELGians, partners, suppliers, distributors and stakeholders worldwide, #WhatsYourFinishLine became an exciting team activity! From de-stressing at the nearest park, training at the gym together, counting calories to sharing milestones with the world on social platforms. We witnessed interesting face-offs and learnt so much about our body & mind, along with the importance of staying active.

The #WhatsYourFinishLine campaign was part of our association with the Coimbatore Marathon held on 6th October in Coimbatore, and the Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure held on 5th October in Charlotte USA. By sponsoring these events, ELGi reaffirmed its commitment to the cause of cancer awareness and prevention.

The senior management team from ELGi North America, Coimbatore and UAE, led the front, sharing anecdotes, tips and inspiring messages to drive the fitness campaign across all branches of ELGi.

We received media coverage across national and regional newspapers and magazines, reaffirming ELGi’s commitment in support of cancer awareness and prevention.

The post The ELGi Foundry first appeared on ELGi.]]> The Indian foundry sector is the third largest in the world after China and the US. Foundries in India operate either as feeder units for manufacturers such as automobile or heavy equipment companies or as captives that produce metal castings for their own products. They work on a variety of metals such as grey iron, ductile iron, steel and aluminium alloys. India produces 11-12 million tonnes of castings a year.

Foundries occupy pride of place in Coimbatore’s identity as an industrial town. With over 500 units, it is the largest cluster of foundries in the country. It is also going to play a big part in fulfilling the country’s Make in India dream. This manufacturing hotspot is expected to see increased activity in the next couple of years, with a projected annual growth of 13-14 percent as against 5-7 percent in the past few years.

ELGi set up a foundry in 2013 to manufacture its own special castings for its air compressors. Among other applications, the castings manufactured at the foundry are used to make ELGi’s proprietary eta-V airends. ELGi produces close to 14,000 airends a year that power its wide range of compressors.

ELGi is perhaps the only company in the world with a foundry that makes metal castings for its own airends. The custom-designed castings follow international quality benchmarks for thermal distortion and deflection. The foundry fits into the company’s vision of becoming a world leader with its range of distinctive products that caters to a global customer base.
